Shippingport, PA

Set along the southern bank of the Ohio River in Beaver County, Shippingport is a small, quiet borough with deep industrial roots. It holds a unique spot in history as the home of the world's first commercial nuclear power facility, and the Beaver Valley Power Station remains a major employer for the area today. Families are served by the South Side Area School District, and everyday life has a calm, rural pace. While the river bridge and cooling towers are prominent local landmarks, residents enjoy a scenic riverfront setting just a short drive from neighboring communities.
